Head of the Communications Department in the Turkish Presidency: Israel's hysterical approach towards Turkey's power and influence is laughable

The Head of the Communications Department in the Turkish Presidency, Fahrettin Altun, stated that Israel's hysterical approach towards Turkey's power and influence cannot be described as anything but laughable, emphasizing that Ankara will continue to firmly stand by everyone who seeks peace and stability.

This came in a post on his account on the Turkish platform "X", on Tuesday, in response to statements by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his meeting yesterday, Monday, with his Greek counterpart Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the leader of Greek Cyprus Nikos Christodoulides in West Jerusalem.

Altun explained that the talk by Israeli officials about the imperial ambitions of others in the region constitutes a stark contradiction in the face of the reality of their committing one of the most horrific genocides in history.

He said: "The ongoing hysterical approach for a long time by Israel, the force that destabilizes the region, towards Turkey's power and influence, cannot be described as anything but laughable, as Turkey under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has become a guarantor of peace and stability".

Altun added: "In contrast, Netanyahu's government has brought blood and tears to the region, and while the Israeli government continues to be an occupying force in Palestine and Syria, it tries to cover up its expansionist ambitions with pretexts of so-called national security".

Altun pointed out that Israel has launched attacks on 7 countries in the Middle East in the past two years, noting that Netanyahu's government has been a disaster in every sense of the word, not only for the region but also for the Israeli people.

He stressed that Netanyahu's government seeks to distract attention by attacking Turkey in order to cover up the crimes it commits.

Altun continued: "We in Turkey will continue to firmly stand by everyone who seeks peace and stability, and such cheap tricks and ridiculous statements by the Israeli Prime Minister will not deter us from our support for our Palestinian brothers".

He added: "Peace will surely triumph despite those who seek to eliminate it".
